I MISS HIM SO
Though time may pass, the memories stay,
Reminding me of happy days . . .
Among my fondest memories are special thoughts of you
And all the many nice things you would often say and do.

There are memories of the many times
You brightened up my days.
There are memories of your kindness
And your gentle, thoughtful ways.

There are memories of your laughter
And the times you'd smile your special smile,
Just knowing how you loved life
Made it all seem so worthwhile.

And when I recall these memories
As I go without you along life's way,
I find they grow more precious
With every passing day.

I LOVE YOU JON

DAY IN MONTEREY

We celebrated Mark's birthday enjoying the day in Monterey. We couldn't ask for better weather as the sun was shining and it was a warm spring day. The flowers were beautiful as we walked around Cannery Row. It's been a few years since I've been there and I didn't remember all the cool boutiques, ice-cream, candy and chocolate shops, jewelry and tourist nick-nacks, some very high end and the usual kiddy stuff.








We stopped by the grocery store and picked up all the usual picnic fixin's and drove along the coast to a nice place where we ate and walked around the tide pools. Then we rented kayaks and paddled around the Monterey Bay for about an hour until it got to windy. I have wnated to kayak in Monterey Bay for several years now when Jon and I would go down for the annual P.I.E. show. It was fun with Mark and Kaylinn.

In some places the kelp was so thick we almost couldn't row through it. The paddles would get all tangled up. Now I wish I had taken a picture of me holding that incredible stuff, so long and rubbery. We saw about a dozen sea otters gathered in the thickest bunch of kelp. Actually they were just laying on the kelp.

FUN DAY!

    I've always wanted to go to Monterey. I hope that my husband and I can get up there at some point. It's beautiful!

    I wanted to pass along this Mom's Guide to caring for kids teeth. It has great ideas on how to keep your kids teeth healthy. I hope you find it helpful too. http://www.1dental.com/moms-guide/
